Pikachu - SM162: Rarity & Collectibility
Pikachu - SM162 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #SM162 of the SM Promos set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Pikachu - SM162?
In 2026, a Near Mint Pikachu - SM162 (Common, SM Promos #SM162) changes hands at roughly $89.74, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $89.74, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $31.75. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $89.74, Lightly Played $67.02, Moderately Played $50.15, Heavily Played $46.05, Damaged $31.75 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Pikachu - SM162 is valued near $1,050 — about 12x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Pikachu - SM162: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Pikachu - SM162 sits around $1,050 — roughly 12x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $158.50, CGC 10 $1,200, CGC 9.5 $74.99 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
